Question 1

What is a CP12 certificate and do I need one?

Accepted Answer

** A CP12 (Gas Safety Certificate) is a legally required annual gas safety check for all rented properties in the UK.

As a landlord in Birmingham, you must have a valid CP12 for every property you rent out. Here's what you need to know:

- The check must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- It covers all gas appliances, pipework, and flues
- A certificate is issued and must be given to tenants within 28 days
- Records must be kept for 2 years

! Failure to have a valid CP12 can result in fines of up to £6,000, imprisonment, or both. It's a criminal offence under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.

> Empower Gas can set up annual reminders so you never miss a renewal. We also offer discounted rates for landlords with multiple properties.

Question 2

What are my legal obligations as a landlord for gas safety?

Accepted Answer

** You must have all gas appliances, pipework, and flues checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

As a landlord you are legally required to:

1. Arrange an annual Gas Safety Check (CP12) on all gas appliances
2. Give a copy of the Gas Safety Record to existing tenants within 28 days
3. Give new tenants a copy before they move in
4. Keep records for at least 2 years
5. Ensure all gas appliances are maintained in a safe condition

> We offer landlord packages that include the annual CP12 plus a boiler service at a reduced rate. Call us to discuss.

! If a gas appliance is found to be unsafe, it must be disconnected immediately. We'll clearly explain all options if this happens.

Question 3

Question 4

Are your engineers Gas Safe registered?

Accepted Answer

** Yes — every Empower Gas engineer is fully Gas Safe registered and carries their ID card on every job.

What Gas Safe registration means:

- The engineer has been assessed as competent to work safely with gas
- Their qualifications are verified annually
- You can check any engineer's registration on the Gas Safe Register website
- It is illegal for anyone not on the register to carry out gas work

> You can verify our Gas Safe registration number at any time. Our engineers will always show their Gas Safe ID card when they arrive — if they don't, ask to see it.

- We also carry £5,000,000 public liability insurance
- All work is guaranteed
- We provide certificates for every gas job completed
